I don't care what you call it, it has an incredible draft in my opinion.

Yeah, that's sharp, I'd have grabbed it too. Love his stems and the dead bottom drilling in the chamber, I prefer the draft dug out from the bottom rather than coming out from up on the side.

The Ehrlich stack I had was drilled dead center bottom like you describe. I didn't pay enough attention to know if I loved it, but I definitely didn't hate it. Certain blends liked to plug the draft on occasion but a fine smoker overall

Just a downsize from stupid amount of stuff.
Since we cannot sell tobacco on the site it is free. Just would like to receive reimbursement for actual postage after receipt of the box.

I have a lot of tobacco.
As to the pipes, I will put some up that might be of interest before I send the off.
What brought about this thought ? Seems a bit abrupt ?

Been in the works
Have mentioned it before
It moves about the speed of the package 📦 you should receive in the next 48 hours 🤔

My short term memory sucks . Long term is good though . With any luck Ill be able to go to work every day for the rest of my life and by the time I get home i wont be able to recall any of it .... it'll make work more tolerable and fresh

Same. Tradesman burnout is a very real thing nowadays

I wouldn't sell off my pipes. I'd probably give a few away though.

Learned I prefer that drilling early on, mostly because I was all over Cutty's and Zulu's, hard to cant a bowl forward and drill too high into the chamber. Never liked those Freehands with the extra deep pocket drilled below the draft for smoking soggy tobacco with out gurgle or whatever.

I’d be interested in whatever you have to buy/sell, mainly tobacco. Maybe post a generalized list. Or picture. Whatever works best. Your still pipe smoking just downsizing right?

I'd definitely be interested in seeing what's available in order to fill a box...
I would also be interested in helping with this quandry; happy to send along a postage-paid box.

I recently sold off another 1-2 yr collection, mostly commissioned Alden’s , a rubio, few Dunhills & Petes oh.. and 1 yeti This was 4-5th time to sell off thru the yrs My intention’s this time was to purchase mostly factory pipes such as Savinelli, Pete’s etc So far 1 Matakidis & Tendi , but I think the rest will be pipes that i mentioned above , it’s fun too commission pipes from Artisan’s but is it really worth it ? Their prices keep going up and their seems to be so many of them now days
And… Do they really smoke better.. ? Not really !!
